This solution has been used by both database and java on other OSs and

numbers on Linux with this patch last time I sent this out and it took
me a while to get performance folks to run a full TPC-C workload. They
did see a 3% improvement in tpcc as I noted in commit log and that is a
significant improvement.
3% for such a change seems pretty worthless... I would have expected
this having to impact performance much more.
Performance impact will depend upon how big a bottleneck the spinlock
was creating and how severe the resulting convoy problem was. Database
guys try to squeeze every bit out of the system and 3% is considered to
be very good gain. 10% gain would have been nicer :)
